Re: 2001 Toyota Corolla LE timing belt/chain? (3673 Views)

It uses a chain - under normal operating conditions, does not need servicing - ie. should last the life of the engine. Because it is a chain make sure that the car follows a regular oil change interval with the appropriate viscosity of oil. Chains tend to be a bit tougher on the engine oil.
